This might be of some use to you
There's a few steel builders making full sus frames that could sort you out a custon size, but I doubt you'd get much change from £2.5k, which is around Nicolai prices :-/
Nothing else in the Marino price bracket, though perhaps Waltly have a titanium option?
Either of those two would require you to already have a very good idea of the bike's proportions
@BareNecessities yeah always had lots of bar/saddle drop, I need 36ers to catch on!
@dry never heard of Curtis before, I'm a bit worried about going custom unless it's cheap as possible because I'm so unsure what I need and what I would enjoy riding if a bike fit me
